Local notes
The classic work of literature adapted to make it more accessible to contemporary readers. The major events of Gulliver's travels are recounted, but the language has been updated, and lengthy descriptive passages have been eliminated, as have some of the complex political discussions.
Accompanied by black-and-white drawings and colorful line-and-wash paintings on almost every spread.
